Miss Belmar Princess Cod Report Block Island and Wreck

Capt. Jimmy's report......
Very frustrating morning on the grounds. Reading plenty of fish but we couldnt get them to bite. Over all picture up there was some caught some didn't . We caught a couple of shorts in the dark waited for the sun to come up moved twice in different areas around 12: 00 we steamed to a wreck that kinda saved our day. Lots of life on the wreck with throwback and keeper COD and some ling also. High hook was was 8 cod . I know of 12 people with between 5-7 cod a man some had 1 or 2 or 3 some had none with a mix of BIG LING. It wasn't the fishing we had last week , but we salvaged the day.

Pool winner was Anthony Riccardo from Easton Pa with a 30 pound COD

Codfishing Mixed reports

Codfishing reports from the Block Island area were mixed over the last few days. Some boats got them, some didn't. You just had to be on a pile of fish that was feeding and if you weren't it was tough fishing.

There was a strong current on Saturday making it difficult to drift.

Wreckfishing for Cod(20-40 mile wrecks) locally off Point Pleasant, NJ was good on Saturday with the Gambler, Point Plesant, NJ reporting a good catch of Cod. Most anglers had a few keeper cod and some had 5-7 fish with fish up to 20 pounds or so.

Montauk Codfishing Update 1/29/10 BE PREPARED!

Codfishing slowed up off Block Island the past few days. The full moon tends to effect the bite and It appears the moon is having an effect on the fishing now. Fishing should improve after this on the down side next week. Make your reservations now so you don't miss out.

Over the past month good catches have been made but reports have been inconsistent as well. Sometimes bait is better and other times jigs work best depending on what the cod are feeding on. Be prepared for both and change your strategy as conditions warrant. Listen to the captain and watch the mates and anglers who are catching. Be prepared to adapt and you will succeed.

Good luck, Leif

Don't waste the Cod!!!

Codfishing remains very good out of Montauk and R.I. The cod are building up off Block Island and limit catches have been reported.****Please don't waste the codfish*****Some of the fish over the past few years have had "worms" in the flesh. These are common and are harmless to humans when cooked properly or frozen. They can also be easily removed by shining a light through the fillet and removing them with a sharp pointy knife. If this still bothers you, e-mail me and I will take them. Here is a link regarding the cod worm.
